Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered a speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium that market participants interpreted as markedly more dovish than expected, prompting a flurry of bets that the central bank could begin cutting interest rates sooner and more aggressively than previously assumed. The address, which comes amid rising friction between the White House and the Fed, also intensified speculation over who might succeed Powell when his term ends next year. Analysts and commentators noted that several potential candidates are already under consideration as policy disagreements with the administration widen.
